Have a Happy and Blessed Easter

 Here are two cards with Easter greetings.

Yes, Christ was crucified and rose from the dead, and he offers eternal life in heaven to all who say yes to him and become Jesus followers. That is the best gift offered to anyone ever. The certainty of seeing our loved ones again in heaven and being ever joyful there.

Thank you Monica for this adorable bunny card that flew to me all the way from Sweden. And now we all know how to say Happy Easter in Swedish, Glad Pask.

My sons and I attended church today, saw many baptisms, about 8, and we cheered for each person as they were submerged in water and committed to follow Jesus. Then we went to my house and had an Easter feast. A very good day. Best wishes to all of you no matter your religious views.

Pretty Painting from Swedish Book, Large Heart Stone, Camelias

Here is a heart stone displayed at the school a block from my house, and I include Bounce to show the size of the stone, it is quite large. Plus I include Bounce because he is Bounce!

 

The painting above is from a Swedish children's book and it was sent to me as a postcard from blog friend Monica at Beyond the Lone Islands https://dawntreader-island2.blogspot.com/.. The painting touches my heart, it speaks of longing and of goodbyes. The boy is holding a goose and saying goodbye. The book is "The Wonderful Adventures of Nils" by Selma Lagerlof.
